The Inquiry into the Loss of the Titanic

The Inquiry into the Loss of the Titanic was a formal investigation following the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic in April 1912. It aimed to understand the causes of the disaster, evaluate the ship's design, safety features, and the actions of crew members. Conducted by both the British Board of Trade and a U.S. Senate committee, the inquiries revealed shortcomings in safety regulations, lifeboat provisions, and responses to ice warnings. Their findings led to significant changes in maritime laws and practices, enhancing safety standards for passenger ships worldwide.
